Not a Total Waste
So my plan for this weekend was to read, play games and relax. I did all of those, so not a total waste. My other plan had been to forget about work/people ... that wasn't so successful. Saturday morning L text me to say that the head honcho had written to me to confirm I'd be helping him out while L is on vacation the next two weeks. I had to hop onto work email and confirm that, "sure! I'd be happy to..." I get it though, it IS two whole weeks and he's got a lot going on so it makes sense. But it could have waited until tomorrow? Oii.
But yeah, I actually read this weekend! Almost the entire book (have about 50 pages left of the 342 pages). It's a series I enjoy, so that is probably why. Hopefully, I'll finish it tonight if I don't fall asleep in the next hour.
I also played a lot of video games. Mostly Dawn of Man yesterday and today Surviving Mars and SIMS 4. I decided to go looking for a reference to try to make in the game, and I found this image:
Here is what I attempted and am pretty happy with how it came out. I had to use some of my own creativity for certain pieces (like the garage doors since SIMS 4 does not have cars or garages--real bummer btw)... and the pink on the awnings is quite dark in my version mostly because the game didn't have a much lighter option for the pink stripes--and I don't like using custom content so I never download it. Considering all of that ... I'm pretty happy with how it came out!
So yeah, pretty much the weekend I set out for. The only bummer is that I was hoping Amalia would come over today. I ordered her a chair for when she's over and doing activities. I hate seeing her on the floor lol. It's a really cute chair and only when it arrived did I realize it matches the little owl I got for her when she was born (which she still loves to this day). So I'm hoping when she FINALLY sees the chair she gets all giddy happy over it. Here's the chair waiting in our living room for our little munchkin lol.
Overall, it was a nice weekend. I just really wish this awful humidity would GO AWAY. My asthma has been on the fritz because of it, and it makes me not want to leave my AC'd bedroom which really sucks when you have a 3-day weekend. REALLY hope this crap clears up this coming week so I can enjoy the weekend coming up. Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
